Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that the results of Uttar Pradesh civic polls reaffirmed peoples support for the GST which has made doing business "easier" for traders. At a media briefing, he also recalled his partys unprecedented win in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand assembly polls following the demonetisation decision and noted that it had swept "trading hubs" in UP to underline popular support to note ban. "Today's results (in UP) have only reaffirmed it," he said. The Congress has used GST glitches and note ban to attack the BJP in Gujarat polls. Now the whole country is his market," Jaitley said.
